All you needed was patience
But you didn't have time
Eyes adrift whilst empty vessels fell
Below the plimsoll line

Your inertia held me under
Until reckless I did sink
No response re: responsibility
If you'd blame me for your stink.

No life-savers as I surfaced
Despite the weight of your lies
If I wasn't drowning, I was at least
Waving my final goodbye
